Trend analysis for John Deere Commercial Products
Between 2016 and 2024, John Deere Commercial Products's Total Case Rate worsened from 1.4 to 4.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 209% increase across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2016, at a TCR of 1.4, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 5.7, a spread of 4.3 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a wide swing relative to the establishment's overall rate, worth checking the year-by-year table below for whether a single severe year is driving the average, rather than a sustained trend.
Summed across those 9 reporting years, John Deere Commercial Products recorded 363 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-year trend above alongside establishment size, since a larger workforce naturally accumulates more raw incidents even at a lower per-100-worker rate.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2024)
What is the DART rate formula?
DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is computed by OSHA as incidents × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. The 200,000-hour denominator equals roughly 100 full-time workers, which lets establishments of very different sizes be compared directly.
29 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,451,255 hours worked = 4.00 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
